Fall River Forever Paws Petunia would have multiple gold medals if napping was an Olympic sport

Meet Fall River Forever Paws Pet of the Week Petunia!

Petunia’s paperwork may say American bulldog mix, but don’t be fooled. They’re pretty sure this is a small hippo. This girl is thicker than molasses at around 66lbs and moves at about the same speed. She’s about three years old and has the prettiest eyes and the most smoochable pink nose.

Petunia is the Queen of Couch Potatoes. If napping was an Olympic sport, she would have multiple gold medals. She has a PHD in dillydallying. On a scale of 1-10, her athleticism is -100. Her extent of “enjoying the great outdoors” is finding a sunny spot to sit in and then not budging…and even then, she’d almost certainly rather be inside away from all of the bugs and dirt and outside-y things.

She’s also a busybody. She’s nosier than an old lady with binoculars. She has to know what’s going on in the next room at all times and won’t be able to focus until she knows she’s not missing out on anything interesting.

Petunia does well with other dogs but not with cats. Forever Paws doesn’t have much of a history on her, so older kids 12+ would be preferred. A shy girl at first, she becomes more outgoing as she gets comfortable and then turns into a bouncing, wiggling, snorting piglet. She gets excited at the sight of toys but doesn’t have any interest in actually DOING anything with them.

If you’re looking for someone to hog your bed, Petunia might be the girl for you.
